I've been using Screen Time this year so far and it's been working pretty well. For me Twitter, FB, and Reddit were the go to dopamine hits. I have separate 5 min daily limits for Twitter and Facebook. And a 15 min daily limit for

This is obviously frustrating, but do not focus on it. They were wrong and lazy to blatantly copy, but would it really make a difference if they spent an extra couple hours with a few copy/css changes to make it look more unique? Unfor

FB is charging a premium for accessing an economy of scale (audience). As a content creator that charges $25/mth, would you rather: 1. Patreon - 500 subs 25x500x.95=$12,500 rev 2. FB - 5K subs 25x5000x.70=$87,500 rev 10x growth doesn&#

Been pondering this the past few days.. I use Mailbox everyday and the alternatives just don't do it for me. Would love to create something that I actually use everyday. However I question, if dropbox can't make a successful busin

I find this to be more of a PR stunt that says "Google tries to care about privacy..." With every change they make to Google search, they put more value on a site's user experience. Now they take away data that is used to imp
